I for one do not believe this is true, or if it is then the movement is clearly misguided. Therefore I am for the statement: "Black lives do not matter to #BlackLivesMatter".
1st Round: Acceptance and any opening statements con wants to get out of the way
2nd Round: Opening arguments
3rd Round: Rebuttals
4th Round: Closing arguments and statements
I wish con a good debate.
I believe that many people who have lost a family member because of the police need a place where they can meet up and share their stories, when that is said i think BLMs agenda goes well beyond just racial problems but also includes the police using excessive force when operating
The BLM movement began in 2013 in response to the shooting of the African-American teen Trayvon Martin by George Zimmerman (a white-Hispanic). As you have already mentioned the movement itself usually devotes its time protesting against police brutality. Although have you noticed a rather common trend among the BLM movement? Yes that is right. Every case involves a white man (or a white-mixed raced individual) shooting an, always, "innocent" black person - usually a teen. Could it be that white people are inherently racist towards black people? Could it be that white people, cops especially, just hate black teens? No. I sense misinformation - or if not then ignorance.
Let's review the facts.
1) 90% of black murder victims were murdered by someone black, according to crime statistics conducted in 2013. Yet why do we not see #BLM trending on twitter or why do we not see members of the black community protesting about this - when a black person murders a black person. One explanation could be that it simply isn't as politically strong an argument. If they use the narrative that white people, a "privileged" social class, have murdered a "helpless", and "oppressed" social class, black individual then their message of black lives mattering is more strongly reinforced - plus they are able to use the "we're oppressed and need extra privileges" card. My point is if black lives truly mattered to #BLM then why do they seemingly not care that 90% of black murder victims are in fact murdered by blacks themselves - 90%, think about that.
2) 54% of African-American families live with only their mother - therefore fatherless. If black lives mattered to #BLM then they'd be campaigning for families to stick together. It is rather obvious why. The main influences in your life are your parents. So to have one is on its own a bad start for the child(ren) growing up. But in the specific context of African-American families it tends to be more devastating. The father's disappearance can be due to things such as the father being in jail, being in a gang (for gang-culture is a very real and depressing thing), being the kind of individual who sleep with many women - leaving the child to be a "mistake". Now of course this does not go for everybody, and it is mainly in the "dodgy" parts of America - but still, where are #BLM on these kinds of things? Even if the reason for a child(ren) growing up without a father is due to a reason as simple as the parents broke up with each other it can still be a troublesome time for the child. #BLM should be caring about the life that is the child. A promising youngster who may have achieved great things for themself and their community had they not experienced life growing up fatherless, having no personal role-model to look up to (this is partly why disproportionately black men rather than women commit crime, because people tend to look up to the parent they share the same gender with).
3) Not to mention quite simply that a lot of the cases where #BLM protested as a result of the shootings were instances where the shooting of such black individual was justified - cases whereby the black individual posses a threat to the white, usually a cop, individual.
It is my belief that either #BLM are too ignorant to realize that it is blacks themselves that are hurting their livelihood more so than whites. Or, #BLM have an agenda to use their "oppression" points to shame white people, the so-called "privileged" people, with the intention of receiving special treatment by society - the likes of affirmative action and so on.

Not only do you have a distrust of our justice system and of our police force but you also have a rather distrust in our government. Now don't get me wrong I distrust our government too but not because of the idea that they might be racist individuals who purposely keep poor (black) communities down. I don't suppose you could prove this? There are many reasons why many black communities are poor, too many to go into. However I stated one of them in my debate. 54% of American black families are fatherless. This has many affects on the children. To list a few 1) it does not allow the child to have a personal role model - which hurts ambition and their understanding of how to go about living in society 2) it causes hardships that could lead to a more violent and criminal lifestyle 3) it makes family life in general harder, especially for the mother who has to work and look after the children - for only one parent is available.
I'm not saying that if BLM truly cared about black lives then they would stop overly reacting when a white person or police officer was the cause of a black person's death. All it does is cause divide between whites and blacks - as white people are harassed, I have been victim to such - and also a divide between blacks and cops - people of which are there to protect you, they should be looked up to so why should they be shunned upon?
To your point that if BLM truly cared about black lives they would protest the gang members and criminals who are responsible for the majority of homicides in the black community. But to what end? What should they picket in front of the national bloods & crips headquarters shouting stop being criminals. And there actually are marches and rallies that speak out against gun violence and black on black crime they just don't get the same attention from the media.
I do agree with you that the crime in black communities isn't because the communities are black it's because they are poor. But a large part of the reason they are poor is because half of the members in our government specifically target them to keep them that way.
I agree that this is not the only problem effecting the black community and alot more has to be done to help them. But I think most of the focus revolves around the police shootings is because this is the most blatent and egregious example of the states mistreatment of the black community.
The BLM movement can do as it pleases, protest at whatever they want to. However the point of my debate was to suggest that if they truly cared about the concept of black lives mattering then they'd look at the factors and the national demographics that affect black lives the most, themselves. Even if you use the argument that they protest against the cases where a black life was taken by a police officer and justice wasn't served you can always argue that if black communities weren't so crime-ridden then the police officer wouldn't need to be there, in the situation pre-murder. Whatever angle you choose to look at blacks have been a factor of their own suffering. While saying this, I do agree that some political pressure and decision making by racist, influential, political individuals are apart of such black suffering in under-developed black communities.
I would like to briefly state this point. Black people living in predominantly white areas - aka the developed and richer parts of the US - are treated as equal to whites, statistically. The only true divide shown by whites and blacks is only and can only be seen when you compare two very different parts of the US, based on varying levels and development and wealth. Which is why I never like to collectively group people together, everyone is their own individual with their own problems (some that contrasts what is suggested by studies that involve collectively grouping people together). Which is why I suggest that black people are not oppressed like many still believe today but instead less developed areas

The Rwandan New Times newspaper is reporting on a Rwandan Prime Ministerial speech to business development advisors. PM Murekezi reportedly said that the country is aiming to create 200,000 off-farm jobs each year.
That seems like a lot, so I did some fact checking. Rwanda has a recent working-age population of 5.8 million, with a ratio of employment to the working age population of 0.710 and a share of agriculture in total employment of 0.753. I think that means that the present agricultural population is 3.1 million, and the non-agricultural population is 1.0 million.
200,000 extra off-farm jobs a year is a growth of 20 percent in the non-agricultural population. The non-agricultural population would be larger than the agricultural population within six years. If we allow for population growth, the results are still pretty close.
These are heady days for the development of Sub-Saharan countries, and the prime minister (or his speech-writers) have better information than me. But all the same, that figure still makes me pause.

Makeup Lab Scheduler
This page is for organic lab students to schedule makeup labs, in case they have to miss their normal lab. It can also be used to request excused absences. Make sure you read all of these rules before attempting to schedule an absence or sending a question to the lab director. Note that your TA cannot excuse absences! If your absence is not input into the Makeup Lab Scheduler, then it will count as unexcused and you will be given a grade of zero for the lab you missed.
Makeup Labs
- You are allowed to schedule a makeup lab up to three times per semester. If you will need more than this, you should speak to the lab director about permanently changing your lab section.
- You should schedule makeups as far in advance as you can, to guarantee yourself a spot. If you leave it until the last minute and there are no spaces in sections that work for you, you'll have to miss the experiment entirely.
- Under no circumstances may you perform a lab in a section other than your own, unless it's scheduled through this site.
- Lab sections are only listed as makeup options if they have at least one space. If nothing is listed at the time you want, you will need to pick a different time.
- This scheduler will only list times when other sections of your course are performing the same experiment you need to make up. Under extenuating circumstances it may still be possible for you to make up an experiment while sitting in on a section that is performing a different experiment, but this must be scheduled by contacting the lab director.
- Any labs you make up must be during the same week, since equipment and reagents for that experiment won't be available during other weeks.
- Any paperwork due that week can just be turned in to the TA of the makeup lab, without losing points for lateness.
- If you make up a lab, you do not need to provide documentation for your reason of missing your normal section.
- Once you schedule a makeup lab, you'll be emailed a verification code. The makeup lab request isn't official until you go to the verification page and input this code.
- By scheduling a makeup lab, you are giving up your spot in your normal lab for that week so that other people can take it. You cannot attend your normal lab that week because there might not be space anymore, unless you officially cancel using the link below.
Excused Absences
- If you are unable to schedule a makeup lab, you can choose to take an excused absence instead. In this case, you will need to bring proper documentation of the absence (a doctor's note, proof of a family emergency, etc.) to the lab director as soon as possible. If you choose this option, your grade for the semester will be out of fewer points. For instance, if your course is worth 800 points overall and you miss a 50-point lab, your total grade will be out of 750 points instead of 800. However, the material from your excused experiment is still considered fair game for the final quiz, so make sure you read the lab and go over the study questions before then.
- Any paperwork due on the day you miss can just be turned in during your lab the following week. If you prefer to turn it in earlier so it can be graded at the same time as everyone else's assignments, you can put it into your TA's mailbox (in the organic lab hallway) before then.
- If you fail to provide documentation by the last day of your lab for the semester, your absence will be considered unexcused, and you will be given zeroes for all parts of this lab.
- Exams for other courses are not considered a valid reason for an excused absence. Since you will know your exam schedule at the start of the semester, you should schedule a makeup lab for these weeks as early as possible to guarantee yourself a spot in another lab section.
- Once you schedule an excused absence, you'll be emailed a verification code. The excused absence request isn't official until you go to the verification page and input this code.
- If you have missed more than two labs, whether they are excused or not, you must either drop the course or obtain permission to take an incomplete. This does not include labs that are made up in another section - so long as you perform a lab at some point during that week, it won't count against you.
Characterization Makeups
- If you need to finish up a characterization (NMR, IR, MP, etc), you do not need to schedule it officially. You can drop by your lab and either prepare an NMR sample quickly, or borrow a DigiMelt and take it to the instrument room briefly to run your MPs.
You can use the links below to schedule, verify, or cancel a makeup lab. These pages are accessible only from on campus! If you need to schedule something while off-campus, you will have to use VPN to make it look like you're on campus.

Preview Abstract Abstract
David Hu
(Georgia Institute of Technology)
Fire ants, Solenopsis invicta, link their bodies together to form waterproof rafts, which in turn drip, spread, and coagulate, demonstrating properties of an active material that can change state from a liquid to a solid. This soft-matter phase transition permits the raft to withstand environmental forces such as raindrops and crashing waves. We present our overview of our combined experimental and theoretical work on ant rafts and towers. Particular attention is paid to rationalizing construction rates based upon individual behaviors and constraints of the ants. We also present preliminary work using plate-on-plate rheology of the ants, extracting the active components by comparison with the rheological behavior of a collection of dead ants.

Pacific Northwest Explorer Itinerary
Backpack and Canoe in North Cascades National Park
For five days, you'll hike through glaciers—more than anywhere else in the United States!—framed by gigantic Fraser fir trees and cascading rivers. The incredibly lush landscape offers multiple opportunities to marvel at its biodiversity, and with a little bit of luck, you might even spot a few sunbathing marmots, mule deer or black-tailed deer, and mountain goats scrambling up rock faces! In between days on the trail, trade your backpack for oars as you canoe on picturesque Ross Lake, looking up at the soaring peaks surrounding you.
Rock climb in Icicle Creek Canyon
Though it may sound like a chilly spot, Icicle Creek Canyon is actually named for its native epithet, Nasikelt, and it's actually quite warm! The sheer granite cliffs that line this canyon offer options for everyone, from the timid beginner to the bold veteran. The friends you've made will be there to support and encourage you, no matter which routes you choose to climb. Cool breezes that waft from the river help keep the summer temperatures comfortable, and when you've had your fill of climbing, take a dip in the creek!
Whitewater raft the Wenatchee River
Navigate big and fun rapids on the Wenatchee through Leavenworth, stopping only to jump in swimming holes and start splash wars. The waves are dramatic, but they're also accessible to students of all capabilities!
Backpack in Olympic National Park
Olympic National Park contains one of the country's most beautiful and wild beach hikes. Over four days, you'll get to see bald eagles, otters, sea lions, and seals while walking with the sea on one side and sheer cliffs on the other. Camp on secluded beaches, surrounded only by your best new friends, impressive sea stacks, and starry skies.
Sea kayak in Port Angeles
Surround yourself with otters, harbor seals, bald eagles, and maybe even a whale while sea kayaking off the rugged coast in the Strait of Juan de Fuca. You'll cruise past seastacks and craggy cliffs, and you may even find a few seastars or sea urchins!
Climb Mt. St. Helens (8,365 feet)
The most famous stratovolcano in the United States beckons to student hikers all of levels. Students will stand on the edge of the ever-growing crater and its surrounding glacier, literally watching geology in the making. Rewards for this challenging hike also include 360-degree views of Mt. Rainier, Mt. Adams, and Mt. Hood.
Whitewater raft the White Salmon River
In 2013, the New York Times rated the White Salmon River as #13 among 46 places to visit worldwide. This Wild and Scenic River is federally protected, leaving the water and forestry in pristine condition. Teamwork is required as you bounce down fun, sustained rapids; laughter is recommended.

The Pacific Northwest Explorer trip was the perfect fit for my daughter: challenging, diverse environments and activities; fabulous, experienced leaders; and a motivated, fun group of kids. My daughter matured through this experience.
Aidan felt a tremendous sense of accomplishment after his three weeks with AT. He came home feeling stronger, more resilient, and capable. We as parents also feel a sense of accomplishment as we survived our first long separation from our oldest child. It was so good for all of us. I still remember waiting anxiously for that first phone call from him. As soon as I answered, he said, "Mom, I woke up in a cloud this morning! It was unbelievable!" I knew then that we had made the right decision and that Aidan was going to have the time of his life. There isn't a video game or app in the world that can mimic that feeling for him. The adventure bug has bitten. I can't wait to see where his newly found confidence will take him! Worth. Every. Penny.
My son had a great adventure! He got to spend three weeks in the outdoors with 23 other kids, and I am so jealous! He is more willing to take on and finish more complex tasks. Thank you!
It was all wonderful. One of the key reasons we chose Adventure Treks as the program hits so many important levels of engaging and teaching the kids life long skills. It exceeded my expectations for my daughter.

Hayden is on track to become the youngest partner in her prestigious DC law firm . . .
If the case she's just been handed doesn't destroy her first.
Hayden McCarthy knows firsthand the pain that follows when justice is not served. It's why she became an attorney and why she's so driven in her career. When she's assigned a wrongful death case against the government, she isn't sure if it's the lucky break she needs to secure a partnership—or an attempt to make sure she never gets there.
Further complicating matters is Andrew Wesley, her roommate's distractingly attractive cousin. But Andrew's father is a congressman, and Hayden's currently taking on the government. Could the timing be any worse?
The longer she keeps the case active, the higher the stakes become. Unknown enemies seem determined to kill the case—or her. Logic and self-preservation indicate she should close the case. But how can she, when justice is still just beyond her reach?

Kaylene's brother, Reid Billings, finds a letter from her begging him to fight for custody of her daughters if anything happened to her. Reid knows that most attorneys will support the right of a parent rather than an uncle, but Kaylene tells him in her letter, Emilie will help him.
He and Emilie work together to save Kaylene's surviving daughter and hope when it's over they can find a future together.
Cara Putman's Christian-fiction book, "Imperfect Justice" is a page-turning thriller. I found myself hooked from the first page and was kept on the edge of my seat, at times biting my nails until the last page. Putman has just the right mix of suspense, romance, legal action and spirituality to make it work. Although this is the second book in the Hidden Justice series, it can be read as a stand-alone. However I would recommend reading the first one before reading this one.

There have been no major epidemic outbreaks in Zhouqu County so far. This has been the case thanks, in large part, to a contingency plan set up by medical experts and staffers. Our reporter Wang Guan went to a local Disease Control Command to find out how its efforts are helping affected residents avoid bacteria and viruses.
Two-year-old Liu Yi escaped the deadly mudslide that destroyed his house 10 days ago.
Now he's among 200 toddlers receiving free daily vaccinations at the only remaining hospital in Zhouqu County.
Local disease control authorities say children are most prone to diseases in a post-disaster environment, and can easily pass germs on to adults, thus causing epidemic outbreaks.
A nurse in Zhouqu Temporary Disease Control Command, said, "Water quality can't be guaranteed after the mudslide, and this will give rise to intestinal infections. We're providing hepatitis-A vaccinations for children."
Three vaccination centers have been set up, and more than 700 infants and small children have been inoculated.
According to the Zhouqu Temporary Disease Control Command, there have been no outbreaks of infectious diseases yet. Most local residents come here for diarrhea or intestinal infections.
Experts say this is due to limited access to water and sanitation facilities. A contaminated environment and mounting garbage are also putting people's health at risk.
Since the disaster struck, hundreds of medical staffers have been disinfecting an area of 120-thousand square meters. That's the size of about 16 football pitches.
The liquid they spray contain both disinfectants and pesticides. one to deal with bacteria from decayed human remains, the other to keep insects away.
Behind these efforts was a Disease Control Contingency Team. It was set up by experts from the provincial capital, Lanzhou, after the county's only Disease Control Center was destroyed by the mudslide.
Liu Jiandi, Deputy Director of Gansu Provincial Disease Control Center, said, "We brought 26 Wi-Fi enabled laptop computers and medical teams to Zhouqu. On one hand, medical centers have been set up across the county to treat those who fall sick. On the other land, they collect data on new infection cases and, with the help of computers, we set up a county-wide disease monitoring network, and release information in a timely manner."
Since the disaster, there have been 21 reported cases of infectious diseases, including five instances of malaria.
This figure is not big, considering the county's population of 150-thousand, but this doesn't mean the disease control effort is over.

Carolina Panthers quarterback Cam Newton is known as an over-the-top player in the realm of fashion. He was even cited by GQ for wearing silver-studded shoes during a post-game press conference earlier this season.
On the field, Newton is also known for his fashionable cleats through his sneaker deal with Under Armour. Prior to their NFC Championship game against the Arizona Cardinals, he broke out a pair of cleats to give a nod to his teammates who helped their cause to winning the NFC South division title:
This joins a host of other special cleats Newton wore on the field for the Carolina Panthers, which is headed to Super Bowl 50 in San Francisco after scoring a 49-15 win over the Arizona Cardinals. Newton also wore a special makeup of his cleats dedicated to his son, Chosen, a week earlier against the Seattle Seahawks.

Each instrument has individual microphones, and it is my job to put all of those things together, to make it sound as close to the record as possible, AND give you a feeling of impact of being at a live show. My second job is the Mix engineer for live releases. We record every single show and release as many as we can as Digital Souvenir Packages. I spend a great deal of time in my day mixing previous shows so that you guys get a record quality bootleg of the shows that you were at. I oversee all live sound releases having to do with Linkin Park, which may include TV shows, Itunes release, etc.
How long have you been a part of the Linkin Park Team and how did you get there?
I was hired by Linkin Park in January of 2007. I have been a FOH engineer for many bands, and have worked in this industry for over 20 years prior to that. During the Summer Sanitarium tour in 2003 (Metallica, Limp Bizkit, Linkin Park, Deftones, Mudvayne) I was working for the band Limp Bizkit. In 2007 Linkin Park needed to hire a FOH engineer, and thought of me because they liked what I did with Limp Bizkit. Before Linkin Park I worked for Kiss, Kid Rock, Whitney Houston, Seal, Guns N Roses, System of a Down, Rob Zombie, Pantera, and the list goes on. When Linkin Park takes a break every couple of years to work on a record, I have been working with Slash during those times.
What is your greatest memory since working for Linkin Park? What's the worst one?
One of the coolest things that we got to do in the past few years was play at Red Square in Moscow, Russia. I am old enough, and grew up in the cold war era. I remember practicing hiding under tables for a nuclear war. What good that was gonna do, I don't know, but anyway…… So it was a real trip to be doing a rock show in the heart of what we were taught as children to fear. Very cool. Worst? I think there have been a couple of European and Asian festivals where it was miserable cold, or rainy, or just nasty. We've had our fair share of weather challenges. Water spout/tornado in Venice, Italy, etc.
If you have anything to say to the Linkin Park fans, go ahead!
I have so much respect for this band, and feel so blessed to work with them. I think it is so awesome that their fans take an interest in what we do as a crew. We work very hard to get it right, and are VERY thankful that there are fans out there who recognize that. You guys rule. Keep it up – Linkin Park is the best band that I have ever worked for, and you guys are the best fans.

If you have ever visited a traditional Mexican restaurant or even been to Mexico and had true, authentic Mexican food, chances are, you have had tamales.
Here in the United States, many families, including our own, make tamales fairly often throughout the year – typically at the holidays, but in some cases even more frequent. Although I never used to make them in the summer because it would heat up the house with the steamer, I do seem to make them much more often with my Instant Pot.
Although I can't really pull off 4-6 dozen (or more) at one time in my Instant Pot like I could with the traditional stockpot steamer, 18 is enough for us to enjoy one or two and then pass off the rest to family and friends – which means I bag them up and drive them to my in laws.
Traditional tamales are usually made with the most popular green chile and cheese, red chile and chicken, maybe pork or in some cases beef – while sweet tamales are popular, they usually aren't made as much, and meatless tamales – forget about it.
Because really – who does that?
The truth is, sometimes it's nice to have a variety of tamales that can cater to everyone – and by everyone I mean vegetarian and vegans alike. While our family is neither, we respect those who are, and this recipe worked out in favor of being very vegan friendly – unintentionally.
Last week, I had the urge to make mole – as I started to pull out spices and ingredients, I realized I didn't have any chicken stock in the freezer. We haven't picked up meat from our farmer in quite a while so making more wasn't a viable option.
So I grabbed what I had, threw everything together and the result was one of the best mole recipes I have ever made.
Fast forward … and with an abundance of mole, came the urge to make tamales with what we had leftover – and since we we didn't have any chicken stock in the freezer, this was the perfect time to adapt these tamales to be Vegan friendly for some of our family and friends who may appreciate a nice change.
The best part is that these tamales are forgiving – if you would rather use chicken stock, go for it – they won't be Vegan, but they will still be delicious.
Opt to make the sauce ahead of time, and use your Instant Pot to steam the potatoes to
Chunky potatoes smothered in a rich, fragrant Mexican Mole and wrapped in a traditional Mexican Tamale - these are vegan friendly and perfect for a meatless Monday!
- 1 pack corn husks (preferably those that are cleaned)
- 3 large russet baking potatoes, peeled, drained, cooked and mashed
- 1 tsp onion powder*
- 1 tsp cumin*
- 1 tsp garlic powder*
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 1/2 C. of prepared Mexican Mole vegan friendly
- 3 C. masa
- 1 C. coconut oil, melted
- 1 tsp baking powder*
- 2 1/4 C. water
- 1 1/2 tsp cumin*
- 1 tsp onion powder*
- 1 tsp garlic powder*
- 1 tsp salt or more to taste
- Fill a clean sink with water and place the husks in - set a heavy plate on top to make sure they stay submerged (you may have a few that escape but it's ok).
- In a medium bowl, combine the roughly mashed potatoes (not whipped!) with onion powder, cumin, garlic powder, and salt until combined. Set aside.
- In another large bowl, combine the masa, coconut oil, baking powder, water, cumin, onion and garlic powder and salt. Mix until combined and push aside.
- Set up your assembly area - first, lay a large, damp towel on your counter, grab 8-12 of the husks and shake off some of the water. Place them on the towel and fold the towel over to keep them moist. Then, next to the husks, place your masa, then the potato filling, then the Mexican Mole. Set a large baking pan to the far right to hold the tamales while you assemble.
- Assemble your tamales: first, spread 3 Tbsp masa on the husks, not too thick - the back of a spoon works well. Place a small amount of potatoes down the middle, followed by a spoon or two of mole.
- Fold the Tamale into thirds - left, then right, then fold the bottom up - don't squeeze. Leave the tops open and set down in the baking pan you have placed on your counter - the open end facing upwards. Repeat until you have exhausted all masa/potatoes. Your final count will vary - this recipe makes between 13-15.
- Add 1 1/2 C. Water to a clean Instant Pot; place the trivet inside. Then lay a piece of foil across the bottom trivet (or a steamer rack if you have). Place your tamales standing up (open end UP) -- this recipe makes 13-15 and your pot holds up to 18, so arrange properly so they fit and have room to cook. Place the lid on, lock it, then push manual (High) for 30 minutes.
- Once the pressure cooker has cooked and the time is up, allow the pressure to release naturally for 5 minutes, then do a quick release and allow the tamales to cool down for 10 minutes before you start to remove. (They will firm up more over time.)
- Push the keep warm button if you don't plan on serving them immediately. Keep the husks on until ready to serve.
Final count may vary by size - this recipe can make anywhere from 13-15 medium size tamales.
*If you have gluten sensitivity, ensure you are using a gluten-free baking powder and that your spices are gluten free. Spices will often have anti-caking agents that are wheat derived.

Home Decorating With a Moroccan Theme
A Moroccan theme is a beautiful addition to almost any home decorating plan. With the beautiful colors, rich textures, and lush fabrics there is no doubt as to the reason that this style of decorating is becoming so popular around the world. These are some of the most beautiful and in some ways the most exotic styles of decorating that you will find around the world.
The Moroccan style is quite lovely and includes many bold colors and textures to keep not only your eyes occupied but also your other senses as well. The good news is that it is bold enough that it is still relatively new as far as decorating styles within the US goes. This means that you aren't likely to have the identical interior décor of your neighbor, friends, or cousin down the way. Even if they adore what you have done and want to imitate it within their own homes, chances are they will not choose the exact designs, patterns, colors, and textures that you have chosen since there are so many fabulous things from which to choose.
Mosaics are perhaps my favorite touch from
his part of the world. They are beautiful and very versatile. They can be used for almost anything. I have seen stunning tables, trays, light fixtures, candle holders, wall sconces, and wall art that was made from mosaic tiles. In fact, this style of artwork (or whatever you might wish to call it) is growing in popularity in the states exponentially in recent years. People are often trying to imitate the style or at the very least purchasing products that incorporate the style.
Fabrics used in Moroccan design and home décor are among some of the most stunningly beautiful fabrics you will find in the world. In fact, many people decide on this sort of theme for the fabric alone and even many who have passed on a Moroccan theme for their homes have still managed to squirrel away some of the fabric in order to create beautiful pillows and curtains. The fabrics are worth taking a look even if you aren't seriously considering incorporating this style of design into your home decorating plans.
The furniture when selecting this style of design for your home is very ornate and beautiful. Moroccan craftsmanship is not to be under stated, as it is very lovely. Now for some, the furnishings are a little much but the other touches of Moroccan décor are perfectly inline with personal preferences. If you are one who feels this way it is not an uncommon feeling. While the work is beautiful it can definitely be overwhelming. However, there is nothing wrong with taking the design aspects you like from the Moroccan style of home décor and not borrowing those you aren't perfectly delighted with.
One thing that very few people complain about however is the rugs. Persian rugs are by no means inexpensive but they are most definitely worth every penny paid for them when they are made well. These are some of the most highly prized and sought after rugs around the world not only for the richness of their colors but also for the intricateness of their design.
Be sure to consider the value that a Moroccan decorating style could add to your enjoyment of your home. While it isn't for everyone as a whole, there may be bits and pieces that are absolutely perfect for you.

Club finances are under constant pressure due to the requirement to use other training venues and the increasing costs of our competition venues etc so it is essential that we continue with our fundraising activities.
The 2017 AGM voted in two fundraising ideas -
1. Christmas Raffle - tickets for the Christmas Raffle are in the process of being issued to all players and officials. We are asking you to sell 10 tickets to family and friends in the hope that each can afford to buy one ticket. Additional tickets are available if required - please let Lesley Robbins know at the club email.

Students walk out of South Eugene High to protest how school handles sexual assault cases
DEVELOPING STORY | Watch #LiveOnKVAL for more
EUGENE, Ore. - A couple hundred students walked out of South Eugene High School just after 11 Friday morning.
The students say it's in protest of how the school handles sexual assault.
Eugene Police confirm they are investigating open cases of sexual assault at South Eugene High but can't give any details beyond that.
In a letter to parents Thursday night, the school principal assured they take these matters seriously.
Dear Friends and Families of South,
We hope this message finds you well. I am writing to let you know that today we were made aware of a possible student walk-out and protest during 3rd period tomorrow here at South. Based on the information we have received, the students planning the protest are attempting to raise awareness of the prevalence and devastating effect of sexual assault. We have also been made aware that some intend to join the protest due to feelings that school administration has not done enough in response to allegations of sexual assault.
Over the course of last two years we have been purposeful and focused in our attempts to elevate the importance of frank conversations about sexual assault both on campus and within the community. We have addressed the topic in a number of ways including classroom discussions, curriculum enhancements, parent workshops, and school climate initiatives. Part of our efforts have also included talk-back sessions following theater performances containing themes touching on sexual assault, increased access to on-site community partners that provide support for victims of sexual assault and training for faculty / staff to help respond to student concerns regarding unhealthy relationships. Finally, we have added staff who are to directly support an ongoing school-wide narrative about healthy communities and healthy relationships. We will continue to look for ways to better serve students and families with the goal of helping students avoid assaultive situations of any kind and welcome suggestions from members of the community. We are encouraged that so many students are committed to the similar goal of eliminating sexual assault and harassment from the student experience here at South. The only way for that to occur is if we all do what we can to ensure this is a healthy and supportive community of students, teachers and parents.
As for administration's response to allegations of sexual assault, that is a different matter all together. I hope to reassure everyone associated with this school that we take such allegations very seriously. As a result of a more open dialogue about sexual assault, we anticipate that students will be more likely to report an incident. Additionally, we anticipate an expectation of a swift response. I assure you we immediately investigate any and all allegations of sexual assault and take all necessary measures to ensure the safety of our students to the full extent which the law allows. As such incidents are also matters of legal concern, we notify the Eugene Police Department and assist them with their investigations when appropriate. If a student is determined to have violated a law or the school's code of conduct, we promptly move to ensure that no student's safety is at risk as a result. Having said this there are limits in terms of what we can say either in the midst of or following an investigation. We do, however, have the flexibility to do what we must to protect our students and that's exactly what we do. I understand that not hearing the outcome of an investigation or seeing, first hand, that some form of justice has been served leads some to question the administration's commitment to student safety. I assure you that is not the case and that we are all committed to the safety and well being of every child in this school. If you, or your student, have any information regarding an allegation of sexual assault, please do not hesitate to let us know. We will follow up on the information immediately.
As for the planned walk-out tomorrow, please know it is not a school sanctioned event and as such we will not be able to excuse absences from class for that reason. We will have campus security staff, our school resource officer and administration on site, as always, but the best way to ensure safe operation of the school is for students to be in class. Thank you for understanding in the event your student is marked as absent for that reason.
Kind Regards,
Andy Dey, Ed. D.
South Eugene High School
Dey sent another letter to parents Friday after the protest.
Hello Friends and Families of South,
As referenced in last night's email message, there was a student protest today at school. The protest included students gathering at the flagpole in the front of the school and then marching around the school before congregating at the front entrance.
By most measures, the protest was a peaceful demonstration of students voicing their concerns about the epidemic of sexual violence in our society. Unfortunately, there were some who joined the protest whose primary goal was to disrupt the school in any way possible and had no apparent interest in the original intent of the effort. After meeting with the protest organizers they too were upset that the narrative of the protest was being taken over and that it seemed to be moving in a more volitile, and certainly unplanned, direction. Moving forward we will be working with the student body to determine how to best engage our students in building a strong and healthy community here at South.
While there were many students involved in the protest, there were many more in the school and in their classes. This required that all available adults were also in classes teaching and supervising those students. As a way of ensuring campus safety, our School Resource Officer called for the assistance of his fellow School Resource Officers from the other district schools who helped secure the campus and ensure classes could safely continue. There were no arrests and no one was detained in any way. There was however a false report that the officers had used pepper spray which I know personally to be untrue. I wanted to let you know why there was an increased ploice presence on campus today.
Without any doubt, the protest and the accompanying police presence was disruptive. I am sure that today's events also resulted in a number of students not feeling comfortable here. I hope you will speak with your student about today's events, determine how they feel and let us know if there is anything we can do to support their return on Monday.
As is always the case, the physical and emotional well being of your children is our highest priority. We take the responsibility very serious and appreciate your support.
Andy Dey, Ed. D.

Lasers generating short optical pulses with widths in the range from 200 ps to 20 ns are key components for a broad range of applications including LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging), e.g., for autonomous driving, 3D object detection, laser scanning (airborne, satellite, and terrestrial) as well as fluorescence spectroscopy and micro-machining systems.
The Ferdinand-Braun-Institut (FBH) has developed a suitable, very compact laser source. The laser module uses a tailored design for pulse generation from the institute's diode laser technology as well as a laser driver with GaN transistor in the final stage offering pulses up to 250 A with controllable pulse amplitude and width. Integrated on these drivers is FBH's latest generation of wavelength stabilized laser diodes that emit 5 ns pulses with 40 W (single emitter) or up to 100 W (3-emitter array) pulse power near 905 nm with good beam quality and up to 85°C. This concept can, of course, be transferred to further wavelengths.

Getting Began With Pet Crate Training
- By - online
- dog crates
- 0
Guess what happens it is just like. You've collected your brand-new dog and incredibly excited to possess a new friend. All for you to do is love and cuddle him, however, you know deep lower working out starts once you get him home. Would you crate train or otherwise? Dogs' instincts will be this type of training because they are naturally living room creatures and that he will therefore feel good and secure in the crate. Due to this he'll not need to soil where he sleeps. This makes house breaking a great deal simpler for you personally. Your behalf in crate dog training would be to persuade him the crate is his bed now.
Pet crate training involves rewarding your dog for entering the crate and remaining inside.The concept is by using the crate included in a play session, letting your dog enter the crate, and getting your pet explore and employ until it belongs to his daily existence. Always choose a crate that's the right size for the dog. The crate must be just large enough for that dog to face in and switch around. When the crate is simply too big it defeats the objective of crate training.
Whenever your new dog or puppy first will get home and that he is soft dog kennel in the crate he may howl and cry seeking to get out. Expect this and restrain yourself. It's very natural for the dog to become by helping cover their you. Remember you have to tell him where his place is incorporated in the family. Crate training is the easiest method to house train your pet or puppy and when you allow him to out and permit him to free reign within your house be ready for the mess which will surely happen.
Getting Began With Pet Crate Training
Result in the crate an appropriate, enjoyable spot for your pet. It may be beneficial to allow him have his favourite toy within the crate with him. It's really a toy or a bit of clothing he's keen on if your dog destroys this stuff then minimise what adopts the crate.
Affiliate the crate with enjoyable things so feed him in the crate and provide him reward treats.
If he's had any sort of accident scold him then put him outdoors and away from the crate. Should you scold him then put him in the crate he'll affiliate bad feelings using the crate and can make training him very hard.
When it's time to place your dog within the crate during the night, leave him and don't keep checking him. He'll settle lower in the own time.
It's worth remembering that the dog will mess his crate sooner or later. Do not put anything in the living room that can't be easily cleaned. Crate training works though since your dog doesn't actually want to mess his living room same goes with encourage him to carry it as lengthy as you possibly can. Take him outdoors within the garden or open area during the night before you decide to put him in the crate for that night. Each morning place your dog out as soon as possible.
Remember youthful young puppies cannot hold their bladder for too lengthy. When they're more youthful than 12 days what is required go outdoors every few hrs approximately. You'll have to make use of your own judgement around the duration you retain your pet in the crate.
Result In The Crate Training Positive
Always do your very best to help make the crate an optimistic experience. Never make use of the crate like a punishment. You would like your pet to determine his crate as somewhere safe. When you initially make use of the crate be ready for your pup or dog to create a fuss. Your pet will get accustomed to his crate despite the fact that to start with he'll cry and howl but have persistence because crate dog training may be the right decision. Provide your dog large amount of treats as he adopts his crate and that he will ultimately use by himself accord. Just like any type of canine training go gradually as you don't want your pet or puppy to feel uncomfortable.
Is Pet Crate Training Cruel?
Many people look upon crate training as cruel to dogs. Clearly should you leave your pet in the crate for hrs at any given time, it's. When you're in your own home enable your dog from the crate. Sometimes it will likely be impossible to become in your own home throughout the day, when you're at the office for example, attempt to get somebody to take him out for any walk or consider taking your pet to some doggy daycare if at all possible. This may also help your pet mix along with other dogs too.
When you really need to visit inside your vehicle and also you bring your dog along with you, a crate may be the safest method for your pet to visit. It'll keep him from getting into the right path and causing havoc if he sees the cat or any other animal along the side of the street or perhaps in an area. In case your dog has already been accustomed to a crate it can help him to enter the crate without feeling stressed. Overall less demanding for you personally too.
It really is your decision whether you choose to crate train. Utilize it correctly and it'll assist with your home training so it turn means a more happy dog along with a more happy you.

The article chronicles the findings of biologist, Sandra Banack, and botanist, Paul Cox, who discovered that Cyanobacteria (a bacteria which "sometimes form symbiotic relationships with other organisms, live in marine and freshwater habitats and even in dried desert crusts") produces a toxic molecule called beta-methylamino-L-alanine (BMAA). The bacteria itself is often found in "blooms" on the surface of lakes or other standing water (many of which feed local drinking water systems) and has been known to wreak havoc on its environment, including killing fish or wildlife.
When the scientists discovered that humans who had passed away from ALS had the toxic molecule BMAA accumulated in the brain, they decided to conduct more studies, many of which indicate that those who live in areas with cyanobacteria-contaminated lakes or other bodies of water may be at more risk for neurodegenerative diseases like Lou Gehrig's ALS.
While further testing is still needed to solidify this theory, and critics of Cox have questioned his findings, Cox still maintains that, "People need to be very careful about the water they're drinking."

Glaucoma Treatment
Currently, there is no cure for glaucoma. All treatments are undertaken to reduce the risk of progressing visual loss. Usually, if treatment is begun early, the disease can be controlled and vision can be saved.
Systemic health issues can also affect glaucoma. Even a regular exercise program and weight loss have been shown to decrease eye pressure! The 3 general categories of glaucoma therapy are medicines, in-office laser procedures and operating-room surgery.
Medicines are the most common first-line treatment for glaucoma. These eye drops and/or pills work by slowing the production of fluid inside the eye or by improving the flow of fluid through the drainage meshwork. There are five main groups of eye drops: prostaglandins, beta-blockers, carbonic anhydrase inhibitors, adrenergic agonists and miotics. These medications may be taken between one and four times daily. The most common side effect is that the drops can cause burning and stinging. Some drops can cause allergies, which lead to red, itchy eyes. Even though the medicines do not instantaneously make you see better, they should not be stopped without speaking to the doctor. The goal of these eye drops/pills is to decrease your eye pressure and reduce the risk of further vision loss. Our Austin area ophthalmologists will discuss with you what medications are recommended specifically for you.
There are several different types of glaucoma laser procedures. The most common are: argon laser trabeculoplasty (ALT), selective laser trabeculoplasty (SLT), micropulse laser trabeculoplasty (MLT), and cyclophotocoagulation. Each of the first three lasers are applied to the trabecular meshwork, the drainage system of the eye. They can help to increase the amount of fluid drained out of the eye, which can lead to a lower eye pressure. These procedures can be done in the office, usually take less than five minutes, and only cause temporary mild discomfort.
Of these, SLT is the most common due to its remarkable combination of ease of treatment and repeatability. After instilling a topical anesthetic eyedrop, the laser treatment is applied through a focusing contact lens. The laser is effective in about 80 percent of patients, and lowers IOP by 20 to 25 percent. The effect usually lasts 5-10 years, and can be repeated if necessary.
Endocyclophotocoagulation (ECP), is applied to the ciliary body in an operating-room procedure through a small corneal incision in order to decrease the production of intraocular fluid. A newer, and less invasive, operating room laser is called transscleral cyclophotocoagulation. With this procedure, the laser is actually applied to the ciliary body without an incision. The laser treatment is applied topically in less than 5 minutes and only causes mild swelling and discomfort. Our Lakeway eye doctors have access to all types of lasers, and will discuss with you which type is best for your eyes.
This treatment is performed in those with angle closure glaucoma. The laser is used to create a small hole in the iris (colored part of the eye). This hole acts as a channel for fluid and helps to provide access for the fluid to reach the drainage system of the eye. The laser usually causes temporary blurred vision and mild discomfort.
These are new and exciting procedures due to their increased safety over older/traditional glaucoma surgeries. In the Trabectome procedure, the inner portion of the drainage system (which is usually the portion of the system that is not working properly in glaucoma) is removed with a microscopic instrument. The fluid inside the eye then has a more direct path into the drainage canals, and ultimately results in a lower eye pressure.
Canaloplasty can be performed via a small corneal incision (ABiC or ab-interno canaloplasty) or an external incision through the sclera (white part of the eye). A small lighted catheter is inserted through the drainage system of the eye. As the catheter is removed, a gel substance is injected in order to dilated the drainage system. This dilation helps to restore the normal fluid flow out of the eye by reducing outflow resistance. Canaloplasty can be combined with cataract surgery, or performed as a stand-alone procedure.
Istent surgery is always combined with cataract surgery in the United States. The tiny stent is inserted into the trabecular meshwork in order to provide easier outflow access for the intraocular fluid. There are newer similar stents that have recently become FDA approved, and are becoming the treatment of choice for mild to moderate glaucoma because of their combination of efficacy and safety. A few examples of these stents are the Cypass (drains to the supraciliary space) and the Xen (drains to the subconjunctival space).
This type of surgery is performed in the operating room, and is usually only undertaken if the above medications and lasers have failed to lower the eye pressure appropriately. In this surgery, a small silicone tube is inserted into the eye. The tube, which drains fluid from the eye, leads to a small drainage "lake" that usually is hidden under the upper eyelid. The tube is microscopic, and is usually not noticeable by others.
This type of surgery is performed in the operating room, and is usually only undertaken if the above medicines and lasers have failed to lower the eye pressure appropriately. In this surgery, an alternate route for fluid to flow out of the eye is created. The fluid drains into a lake or "blister" that is normally hidden under the upper eyelid.
Our ophthalmologists have experience with all of the above surgical treatments, and will discuss with you which specific treatments are appropriate for your eye(s).

Thirdj Report from Lima Feb 28
It's been several days since I sent a report, though I have been sending brief updates on FaceBook and Twitter. I've been busy either ministering or preparing to minister, and time got away from me.
Friday afternoon I preached on the children of Israel needing to not look like world before they took the Promised Land. That meant circumcision. Today we experience a circumcision of the heart so we don't look like the world spiritually. And that circumcision, though painful, is necessary. Response was amazing as the altar was flooded with people wanting to go under the Master Surgeon's knife and allow Him to cut away that which was not pleasing to him.
Friday night I ministered from Ephesians 5 to the leaders of Emmanuel Bible Church-Zarate. They were in the midst of their VBS, and the leaders had been there since the morning. Just as Paul prayed for the Ephesians church, I prayed that the Zarate church would have wisdom, understanding, the fullness of the Spirit, joy and thanksgiving in their hearts, and an attitude of submission to one another. A season of prayer concluded the service, with many coming forward for prayer for refreshing. I prayed with about 15 to be filled with the Holy Spirit. Then, it was exciting to see as I watched them all minister to one another.
Marsha and I have a spiritual granddaughter, Laura, in Emmanuel who has been diagnosed with juvenile arthritis (their description) in her elbows and shoulders. I prayed for Laura and she testified she had some relief from the pain. I saw her again last night and she had more freedom of motion but still some pain. Please unite your faith with mine for a complete recovery.
Saturday morning I spoke at the National Prayer Movement monthly gathering hosted by TV/Radio Pacifico, Peru's leading Christian broadcast outlet. They had planned to televise the meeting nationally and on the Internet, but it didn't happen, though it was broadcast on the radio and streamed on the Internet. When I preach on prayer, it's usually about using the Lord's Prayer as a prayer outline, and Saturday was no exception. The message was well received
Saturday night I preached in a small church on one of the mountains surrounding Lima, sharing on four functions of the Holy Spirit: 1) Conviction 2) Instruction; 3) Direction; and 4)Magnification (glorifying Jesus). Text was John 16:5-15. Our daughter, Maria, was given erroneous directions to the church, so they called a young man with some translation experience who lived in the area. He came and did a fine job. At the altar call we had two or three salvations, and most of the congregation of about 40 came forward to be filled with the Hoy Spirit, including the pastor's 12-year old daughter. Dad and mom were thrilled!
Sunday morning I was at Pastor Julio Romero's church, and preached on the Grace of Giving, from 2 Corinthians 9. Emma translated for me (she translated at the VFM Conference) and her husband, David, and two daughters, 18 and 16, were with her. Afterwards we all went out to lunch and I had the chance to get better acquainted with the family. David is a missionary from the US whose ministry is to serve as a pastor to pastors, crossing denominational and doctrinal lines to do so. I'm looking forward to networking with him in the future.
Saturday late afternoon Emma and I ministered at Pastors David and Soledad Liñan's church in downtown Lima. I preached about false repentance (Saul in 1 Samuel 15) and true repentance (David in 2 Samuel 11, 12). There were about 40 in attendance, and 4 responded for salvation. Praise God.
Then Sunday night I preached to a packed house at Emmanuel Zarate. The sanctuary seats around 150, and it was Standing Room Only. Maria was with me this time as I preached on water baptism. It was Maria's finest translation she's done. I'm very proud of our daughter!! About a dozen came forward to receive Christ at the close of the service, and a very large number requested water baptism.
I'm very proud of our first Peruvian son and daughter, Jose and Raquel. Everything they do for God they do with excellence, and it is reflected in their leaders, their building and their ministry.
Today I'm hanging out with our Peruvian kids Jose and Marlene Navarro and their children, then with our other kids, Antonio and Debora Meca and their children, and Maria. Tomorrow morning I'll attend a pastors' fraternity meeting. Then tomorrow evening I preach in Pastora Esther Pongo's church. Wednesday it's the day with Jose and Raquel, then to Evangelical Church of Christ in San Martin, with my good friend Juan de Dios Huaman, then to airport and home.
Thanks for your prayers and support. God is at work!

Oh happy day! We just received our copy of Final Fantasy VII, and we couldn't be happier. And we'd like you to share in our happiness!
No, we don't have any extra copies to give away, but we do plan on doing an ongoing strategy guide, put up every couple of weeks or so. What we see, you'll see.
This does mean that some things may be spoiled for you, so if you're afraid of us blowing it for you, then by all means don't read the walk throughs. However, we're pretty certain that, because we're playing the Japanese version, the US version will have more than its share of surprises, if just because we can't read the text now!
Expect the first installment in a few weeks.

Kids Doing Good Stuff: Teen awarded Walmart's Everyday Hero award
This teenager from Reynolds High School would rather spend his time helping others than staying at home playing video games.
Ben Nguyen does so much to help the community, a national retail chain recognized him with a special honor.
On one recent day, the junior had no idea what was about to happen in his AP government class until his teacher called him up to the front of the class. Casey Shaw from Walmart had quite the surprise for him.
"Walmart is giving you this HP Stream Notebook and a $75 gift card to help with either software for the laptop or school supplies or anything that you need," Shaw told Nguyen.
Nguyen received Walmart's Everyday Hero award for giving back to the community.
Nguyen, who immigrated from Vietnam 10 years ago, gives his time to others and he's very humble about recognition.
He has a 4.0 GPA and tutors kids who need help in science and math.
"I really don't like staying at home," he said. "I want to go around and see stuff. Sometimes I have to wake up early, but it's really worth doing."
When he's not helping his peers, Nguyen's giving time to homeless shelters and serving meals.
"It's really fun to meet new people. It's a form of networking, where I meet adults and talk to them about their careers," he said.
It's the first year Walmart honored a student in our area with this award.

I've done callanetics several times and I think my body is tighter. I can tell from my abs and legs, where I could literally feel it for days afterwards, that the workout was working. I'm going to do it again today.
I've also decided to alter my diet plan, since it really wasn't working before. It was too extreme. I've been reading a book called "5 Factor Fitness", written by the same person who's a trainer for Halle Berry and a lot of other Hollywood hotties. I learned that you need to have protein with every meal because otherwise your body doesn't hold onto it the way it holds onto carbs and fat. (Not fair, right?!) I'm adding almonds to my diet since they're high in calcium and protein. Since I'm a vegetarian, I'm hesitant to add turkey to my diet, but it's so high in lean protein, I think I have to, or else I'll run out of almonds too fast. He says to eat 5 small meals a day spaced out- so I've decided that I'm going to do the following plan:
- Breakfast: carnation drink packet with organic milk and a benefiber packet stirred in; optional banana. Also take 30 mg adderall XR
- Lunch: clif bar, water, benefiber packet. (I eat lunch early, so I don't need a mid-morning snack.)
- Snack at 2pm-ish: 1 serving almonds, water. I always get hungry during this part of the day and binge at home, so no more of that! I'll also take a 15 mg adderall to prevent a metabolism crash.
- Dinner at 5pm-ish: V8 juice, turkey (?… not really sure).
- Late night snack: fruit sorbet cup, 100 calories.
The book also contains a workout plan that I intend to follow, in addition to callanetics. I work out doing certain moves 5 days a week and it only takes 20 minutes! This is definitely someting I can stick to. I'll need to use weights for a few exercises, but other than that it'll be fine. I need to do more weight training anyways.
Personal life updates:
- The reading I payed for with that psychic is finally coming through. I'm supposed to call her on Friday. I'm really looking forward to it, since it should answer some big questions about my life.
- Got into a fight with Xang last night over IM, both about her friendship with Shiney and what she said about me the other day that triggered me. (See my previous quote of the day.) I think I'll just apologize for the fight and invite her over afterschool on Monday to hang out and make up. I can deal with Shiney later- I'll use hoodoo to make her fat and scare off her friends. For now, I'm focusing on bigger fish; my own success and bodily transformation, and the issue of X that I'm gettig the reading about.
- Thanks to aforementioned fight, I feel that I am now in unspoken competition with both Shiney and Xang. Xang is in recovery, so it doesn't seem quite fair, but Shiney is still as annoying as ever, and I would LOVE to see her get engorged and fat as I get slimmer and slimmer.
